Now I have gone to my second XK8, a 2006 Ebony Victory Edition that will need some work, but I guess that's I why we love these cars. The Nav system will be going, and a few other things, but as a retiree, I guess that's I why I have all this time to spend??

This is my XK150 that I took a picture in the same place in 1983. Note that the bridge has been updated in the picture with a the XK8.
Here is a picture that I took of my XK8 near the Canal in Lockport, NY

I started seeing the XKs on this site about 2 month ago and they were so impressive to me that I started looking for one myself . That , as so many of them are , is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing !! BTW I found mine , and now I have one sitting in my garage right next to my Vanden Plas .

My Vanden Plas came with the same 16" wheels you have, I changed them.
They are the same as you have on your XK, called Double-Fives, fitted with 245/45 front, and 275/40 on the rear ... just for looks .....
I think they do very well on the Vanden Plas indeed.
And I figured it out, put the XK in auto drive, then follow with the XJ to enjoy the lines
